Trent Viaducts, Railway viaduct between Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, England.

The Trent Viaducts consist of two parallel railway bridges spanning 600 feet across the River Trent with a width of 40 feet.

Engineer Charles Blacker Vignoles constructed the initial bridge in 1839, followed by a second crossing added between 1891 and 1893 for the high-level goods line.

The viaducts represent the early expansion of British railway infrastructure, connecting multiple regions through the Midland Main Line transportation network.

Network Rail maintains both structures, which continue to serve as essential railway crossings with spans reaching 100 feet and a clearance of 22 feet.

The structures incorporate twin tunnels through Red Hill directly south of the crossing points, enhancing the railway route through the natural landscape.
